摘要:
Ground polymeric elastomer or other polymeric plastic, particularly from recovered scrap, is surface modified by treatment with a gaseous mixture containing a minor amount of fluorine and a larger amount of at leasts one reactive gas in an inert gaseous carrier. By the treatment the ground material is made more compatible for admixture with polyfunctional polymer-forming liquids, thereby obtaining novel composites of controlled physical properties. The other reactive gas is preferably oxygen or one of the gases from the group consisting of: chlorine and SO.sub.2 with or without added oxygen.

摘要:
The present invention is a method for improving the barrier properties of thermoplastic substrates. A surface of the thermoplastic substrate is contacted with a reactive gas stream having an F.sub.2 concentration greater than or equivalent to 0.0001 atm. partial pressure of F.sub.2 per atm. total pressure and sufficient oxygen such that the F.sub.2 /O.sub.2 ratio is less than or equal to about 100, with the remainder being additional reactive and/or non-reactive components. A barrier coating material is applied to the treated surface of the substrate and subsequently undergoes a curing step to form the final product.
摘要:
A method is provided for determining the impermeability of a polymeric article to a fluid by the steps of:(a) allowing a permeant to diffuse through the polymeric article for a preselected period of time,(b) converting permeant, diffusing through the article, to an ion by a chemical reaction and(c) measuring the amount of ion formed quantitatively with an ion-selective electrode.A method is further provided wherein a polymeric article is exposed to a permeant for a fixed period of time; removed from contact with the permeant; exposed to a chemical which will convert permeant, back-diffusing through the polymeric article, to an ion; and quantitatively measuring the amount of thus-formed ion with a ion-specific electrode.

The present invention is an improved plastic container having both improved thermal resistance and improved aroma and flavor barrier properties. The container comprises a polyethylene inner layer having a thickness in the range of 0.5 to 10.0 mil, and a coextruded polypropylene outer layer having a thickness such that the ratio of polypropylene to polylethylene is at least 2:1, and wherein the surface of the polyethylene layer has been treated with a reactive source of fluorine.
